It happened again

Well we got a surprise again. You'd think we'd get used to these kids doing this to us. They have done this every time they are coming to visit and they say well we'll give you a call when we leave so you will have an idea when we will be there. Kristie and Jared told us they were not going t6o be able to come until two weeks from the first of April. Well as you know we have plans to leave next week to go down to Arizona. We felt really badly because Little Cooper's b-day is this coming Friday and we wouldn't be there for his first b-day. Oh well we thought we can celebrate later. Guess not? Yea! Got a phone call from Kristie tonight and she asked what time we go to bed. Still I was in a "fog" about what sh was talking about and it didn't help that she kept loosing her connection because she was driving - do errands was what she told me. Well they made it here around 10:30 or so. We ran out and picked up some formula for Cooper so they wouldn't have to stop and they beat us back here. Those stinkers!! Yes we were so happy just the same but wow.
Then they just were getting settled in for the night and even Cooper had gone to sleep and they realized as they walked across the floor in the room they are in and out in the family room there was water all over. Ever since we moved here 30 years ago and it was a new home we haven't had these kind of problems -- no one had lived here and worked out all of the little problems that arise in a new home. The first winter this problem arose and Glen worked very hard trying to find it and then fix it and he did a great job and it worked great ----- until now!! Since we've pulled out those bushes out front -- I guess it made it possible for that darn rain -- that came down several times like cats and dogs just found it's way down the wall and into the wind well. What a mess. Tomorrow it will be fix it up day again. That is after we take Grandma to the doctor and then head up to baby animals days to be with Steph, Brian, Chloe, Graeme and Kai to enjoy all of those little babies.

Keep your fingers crossed it won't rain until after it is fixed. Well sleep well dear ones!!
